After the relatively enjoyable first Outpost, this disjointed mess is supposed to take off where the first movie ended. however it fails as a decent zombie movie and the fact that they're still unstoppable resurrected Nazi's just doesn't have the same appeal it had in the original.
After the first team of mercenaries were picked off, the Nazi's up the ante by also taking out the 2nd team that were sent to look for them as well as most of the civilian populace in the surrounding countryside. Special forces teams are fighting a losing battle as commanders decide whether or not to just detonate a low yield nuclear device to cleanse the area shrouded by an EMP effect.
It seems that the Brigadefuhrer Gotz, also known as "The Breather" from the first Outpost is still attempting to recreate more members for his immortal army to amass a huge undead force by killing soldiers and civilians and injecting them with an experimental serum.
Overall I saw this to be just a noisy and directionless ball of confusion, with none of the likability of the first movie. I found myself having to rewind and replay multiple scenes as the camera loves to jump from one chaotic scene to the next in-between moments of irritating stereotypical testosterone fueled banter from the UK special forces team that are under orders to stop the advancing army and destroy the bunker they're all being created from. Part of the movie plays like a first person shooter game, where monsters are just lurking around every corner ready to jump out at you. And one scene is ripped directly from Raiders of the Lost Ark, where the zombies are all corralled in front of the bunker generator and are electrocuted in sync right through their bodies. I'm not sure if that's considered homage or just flat out plagiarism.
At times I couldn't work out who was who and with most of the action taking place in complete darkness with only flashes of light it became very disorientating to try and get some perspective on what was actually happening. The ending of this is left on a cliffhanger as well, however we never got a proper 3rd installment, instead we got an insipid 3rd movie prequel and for me, the less said about Rise of the Spetsnaz the better.
